    This is a great site for the scientific method practices. Having the students plot and plan their own experiments will help them in science.

    Similar to our own Nebraska Memories site, this site provides a wealth of information dealing with Kansas history. This includes photos, letters, diaries, government records and much more. They also have the documents organized in a number of ways including topically and by date in addition to search capabilities. This site could be especially helpful when learning about Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War and Plains settlement.

    This site hosted by the Library of Virginia contains a number of transcriptions of primary documents. The documents (most of which are excerpts from larger texts) are related to Virginia and are organized for time period, for example "A Nation in the Making" or "Virginia and the New South". This site would be useful in a number of American History Units as it contains texts from before the Revolution as well as from the Civil War.

    This site uses resources housed by the New York State Library. It is a lesson plan using newspaper articles from two New York newspapers from the late 1800s. The lesson plan includes the documents as well as activities using them. In addition to being a useful lesson plan for the Gilded Age and labor movements, it also serves a model for those wondering how to set up a unit using primary documents.

    This site is full of links that can be used when studying the American Revolution. It covers key individuals, spies, battles, causes of the war and a lot more. There is also a timeline link that could be used to teach about timelines.

    This website is linked with a lot of information and resources. What I thought was awesome about this site is that it has actual letters written by soldiers and families of soldiers. During a unit on the Revolutionary War, materials like these are priceless and so much more meaningful that words from a textbook.

    The American Memory collection is such a treasure trove, including this old photograph of Sioux City (as well as many other Iowa towns). This would be really useful in a unit about local history or even for younger students, talking about communities and maps. Students would find it interesting to match up today's view of the city with this one.
